The energy management system for the utility

fortop provides total solutions for measuring, monitoring and reporting electrical energy and other energy flows such as gas, water and heat.

kWh meters with many types of bus systems

The measuring instruments are available with various bus systems such as M-Bus, Modbus and TCP/IP. This makes the meters easy to integrate into different types of building management systems. With the M-Bus data logger, it is possible to store, visualise and link the data from different M-Bus kWh meters. The gridXpert software complements the systems and allows energy flows to be monitored via a web-based interface.

With their easy installation and configuration, the gridXense meters are suitable for any installer who wants to provide a total solution for energy monitoring in a variety of applications, such as schools, office buildings, flat blocks and other utility buildings.

gridXense Professional II kWh meter

Universally applicable kWh meter

The gridXense Professional II is a universally applicable kWh meter equipped with an M-Bus, Modbus, or TCP/IP communication interface.

gridXense Professional II with TCP/IP connection

The top model of the gridXense range is the gridXpert Professional II with a TCP/IP connection. This meter features a built-in web interface for visualising measurement data. A standard web browser on a PC, laptop, tablet, smartphone, or touch panel PC is sufficient for the presentation and analysis of measurement data.

Alarm system

The built-in alarm system alerts you via email or SMS if a measured value exceeds a set threshold. Saving energy has never been easier!

User-friendly display

A large graphical display of 60 x 30 mm with LED backlighting ensures that measurement values can be read clearly under all conditions. The quantities, the description of the quantity, the energy direction, and the phase sequence can all be viewed on a single screen.

Datalogger/Gateway - EMU M-Bus Center

Datalogger

The EMU M-Center datalogger is fully configurable via a user-friendly interface. This interface can be accessed from any standard web browser. The graphical display shows the IP address, which can be manually configured or obtained via DHCP. The automated meter reading ensures continuous and error-free data collection and storage for analysis and billing in compliance with ISO 50001. Additionally, gas, water, and heat meters can also be read.

M-Bus to BACnet IP Gateway

The M-Center is an ideal system component for integration into a BACnet IP network. As soon as an M-Bus meter is registered or imported, it can be read directly via BACnet IP. The connected kWh meters are individually read as slaves and recognized as separate measuring instruments. Integration into a higher BACnet IP system does not require any configuration.

Plug & Play communication with energy management and billing software

The M-Bus loggers can be read in a higher-level energy monitoring system. Optionally, drivers can be added to communicate with other devices. All available measurement data is retrieved by the parent energy monitoring system (EMS) Joulio-Web. Using Joulio-Web, the measurement data can be visualized for energy management and billing purposes.
